Chessington World of Adventures Resort

Christ so there's no Asia or Mexicana this year? That parks going to be horrendous this year.

In fairness, the loss of Mexicana compared to the last couple of years will have no impact on this year in terms of capacity. There's literally 0 rides closing there; Rattlesnake is remaining open, and Scorpion has already been closed for a number of years.

Asia will be a huge loss.
 
I hope that they look at off peak days and closures and have rattlesnake open with Asia closed off, use to love the warm September off peak days in wild Asia....
 
Is kobra out all year too then ?
I think as others have said its a shame this couldn't be phased. Kobra and jungle bus look like they could stay open whilst the main construction is happening of the new indoor attraction / demolition of the other buildings and removal of rides. I guess closing the whole area probably makes the site easier to operate in and speeds up the build, but it will be a huge loss for the next 2 seasons.
 
The plans show Kobra is being relocated (it looks like the centre of the ride will go over the existing path trough to Land of the Tiger) so it's not as simple as maintaining a temporary path through to access it. That said, with two areas under construction at the same time the park will certainly feel a lot smaller.
